Wandsworth Are Not Amoosed

It's official: councils have no sense of humoour. Or at least, not Wandsworth, who've demanded that a fake cow outside Buckley's Butchers in Putney has to be remooved for lowering the tone. Buttercup has been doing promootional duties for a moonth and is a big hit with kids and grown-ups alike, but now it looks like she'll be put out to grass. Wandsworth Council ruminated on the issue, but decided it was the thin end of the wedge (cheese - milk - cows; ohnevermind) and might encourage other pavement decorations which could obstruct wheelchair users. (Please, nobody shout 'health and safety'.) Have these grumps never heard of Cow Parade? Oh well, at least the local paper had fun. (Image / foxypar4)
